Pros

Ebay has a great base of people, that are running the business. It has a very international and vibrant atmosphare with a lot of interaction between people, function, countries, etc. Through its global presence it gives a lot of oportunities to travel and talk to/meet with people from other countries. People have a vast knowledge of e-commerce and the online industry.

Cons

Management did not show a consistent strategy over the past years. It has been changed every year, most new initiatives or acquisitions have not at all be successful. It is sometimes hard to get information/knowledge about certain things/Projects. In general it feels a little over-managed.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
